Good news is not coming to us
In abundance these days, with
All the wars, natural disasters,
And normal human events. We
Should not disregard these
Messages and although we have
Little power to do anything about
Them, we must remember the
Power of prayer. All the great
Philosophers have left us this
Message and it is easy for us
To forget just as we have
Forgotten to be thankful for
All the gifts we have received.
There are many things to be
Thankful for even while ghastly
Things are happening around us.
I look out at a beautiful sky which
Lifts my feelings as it reminds me of
The ascension of our Savior or of
How a perfect painting should look.
In the foreground, all the snow
Which most did not want has
Melted and evaporated away.
This is good for the animals
Who forage the ground for their
Food. We must learn to take the
Good with the bad.
